 Wow. This lady's a seriously hot violinist. Her first album was entirely Irish music (although with enough of a swing to keep it fresh), and her latest album (Wild Blue) is still very grounded in that tradition.

Evidently she's had it for over ten years, and is now having Zeta build her a fiddle based on the Barcus-Berry. Here're some samples from Wild Blue:
